(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ يَعْنِي التَّيْمِيَّ , عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ , قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَسِيرُ عَلَى نَاضِحٍ لِي فِي أُخْرَيَاتِ الرِّكَابِ ، فَضَرَبَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَرْبَةً ، أَوْ قَالَ : فَنَخَسَهُ نَخْسَةً ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَكُونُ فِي أَوَّلِ الرِّكَابِ ، إِلَّا مَا كَفَفْتُهُ , قَالَ : فَأَتَانِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَتَبِيعُنِيهِ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا , وَاللَّهُ يَغْفِرُ لَكَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : فَزَادَنِي ، قَالَ : " أَتَبِيعُنِيهِ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا ، وَاللَّهُ يَغْفِرُ لَكَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ : فَلَا أَدْرِي كَمْ مِنْ مَرَّةٍ ، قَالَ : " أَتَبِيعُنِيهِ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " هَلْ تَزَوَّجْتَ بَعْدَ أَبِيكَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " أَبِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا ؟ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : ثَيِّبًا ، قَالَ : " أَلَا تَزَوَّجْتَهَا بِكْرًا تُلَاعِبُكَ وَتُلَاعِبُهَا , وَتُضَاحِكُكَ وَتُضَاحِكُهَا " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was once on a journey with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Suddenly, while walking, my camel stopped at a place and would not move. I heard the voice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Jabir, what has happened to your camel?" I replied, "O Messenger of Allah! I do not understand what has happened to it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Hold it and give me the whip." I gave the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the whip. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck it once, and it took me ahead of everyone. On this occasion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Jabir, will you sell me your camel?" I replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "When we reach Madinah." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Did you get married after your father's martyrdom?" I replied, "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "To a virgin or to a previously married woman?" I replied, "To a previously married woman." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why did you not marry a virgin, so that she would play with you and you would play with her, she would make you laugh and you would make her laugh?"
